Innovative, with generous interior space but at the expense of the boot. I have an M60 — strong acceleration and excellent self-charging, especially on the motorway.

I replaced my Dacia Jogger with an MG ZS Hybrid and I don't regret it.

With all the features it offers at that price, the MG has no competition. A BMW X1 of similar dimensions with a few extra upgrades costs more than twice as much, and considering that 40% of MG’s spare parts come from Germany (Bosch, Continental, etc.), I’d go for the MG ZS Hybrid without a second thought.
